All Behind Jon Davies!

It's fair to say that this season we have been missing our main man!
The fact is our talisman is raring to go and could, with your help, be fit for next season!
Affectionally known as JD7, Jon Davies, has shown over the years that he can consistently produce 'box office' performances on a regular basis. Our entertaining goal-scorer has always lit up the Southern League and is, undoubtably, one of the greatest players to wear the Frome Town shirt. He is now in his seventh season with the Robins, having also represented Bath City, Totton, Poole, Paulton Rover and Melksham.
If you can, please contribute to our fundraiser here to help one of the finest players to have graced the Badgers Hill turf!
Don't forget we have also have a fundraising bingo coming up at the Clubhouse next Tuesday at 6.30pm organised by the FTFC Supporters Club in aid of JD7.
Please come and support this event, by either donating prizes or attending on the night!
Sadly Jon picked an ACL injury in the early minutes of our away trip to Havant & Waterlooville at the start of October and now faces surgery and along period of rehabilitation. This comes on the back of a similar injury to his other knee, which he had worked so hard to recover from.
The Club has done its best to support and, with a young family and his business to run, we are looking to raise funds to assist him financially through this difficult period. There is no doubting Jon's commitment to return to action and we hope it's not too long before he again graces the turf at Badger's Hill.
Sadly Jon is still awaiting a date from the NHS for his required operation despite previous promises of "early next year" and is now looking at mid-May at the earliest with a large number of people in the queue ahead of him. With recovery and rehab this could cause him to miss much of next season and possibly force him into retirement.
He feels fit, and wants to continue so the only option is to pay for surgery at a cost of £7,437. Jon is able to cover some of this expense but as a Club we want to provide at least 50% and hope to get him back on the pitch for pre-season - there is no doubt we have missed his contribution this year.
Please help if you are able, the quicker we can raise the money the sooner we get JD7 back in action.
